Budget Tours & Trips to France Reviews
- Spain, south of France, Burgundy and Alsace
Scenic, Packed, and Worth It! The French Riviera tour was stunning—so many gorgeous spots packed into a short time! You get to visit places that would be difficult to manage on your own, and the views are absolutely unforgettable. It was a bit hectic with tight schedules, long drives, and limited time at each location, but the guides did their best to keep things organized. With a diverse group of people and different guides across locations, it could feel a bit overwhelming, but the beauty of the Riviera made it all worth it. Highly recommended if you want to see a lot in a short time!
- Best of France Tour
Outstanding experience ! Admired the countryside, especcially Loire Valley, St. Michel. Everything went smoothly. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and competent. Thank you very much for everything.
- Paris and Versailles
Everything was good. The hotel was what I expected for 3 stars. The only thing that went wrong was that my ride to the airport never showed up. I had to pay for and find other means to get there.
